People love to sue Apple at every opportunity. Now, a Florida woman is suing Apple for $5 million because her iPhone 4 power button isn't working. However, she didn't file the lawsuit alone, but instead joined other iPhone 4 users who had previously had problems with the button.
According to GigaOm:
In a mass lawsuit filed in California, Debra Hilton claims that Apple knew about the problematic cable that controls the on/off button, but chose to keep it a secret in order to sell more devices.
As evidence, she points to a discussion on an Apple forum that has been viewed by thousands of visitors, in which users complain about problematic power buttons. Hilton also points to a fix-it video on YouTube that shows someone who claims to repair iPhones saying that this particular defect is prevalent in iPhone 4s sold in 2010.
The discussion on the Apple forum has over 400 posts and 800,000 visits, meaning that this particular problem has indeed been experienced by several iPhone 4 users.
